GENERAL NOTES
• Lombardini engines are built to provide safe and
longlasting performances, but in order to obtain these
results it is essential that the maintenance requirements
described in the manual are observed along with the
following safety recommendations.
• The engine has been built to the specifications of a
machine manufacturer, and it is his responsibility to
ensure that all necessary action is taken to meet the
essential and legally prescribed health and safety
requirements. Any use of the machine other than that
described cannot be considered as complying with its
intended purpose as specified by Lombardini, which
therefore declines all responsibility for accidents caused
by such operations.
• The following instructions are intended for the user
of the machine in order to reduce or eliminate risks,
especially those concerning the operation and standard
maintenance of the engine.
• The user should read these instructions carefully and get
to know the operations described. By not doing so he may
place at risk his own health and safety and that of anyone
else in the vicinity of the machine.
• The engine may be used or mounted on a machine
only by personnel suitably trained in its operation and
aware of the dangers involved. This is particularly true
for standard and, above all, special maintenance work.
For special maintenance contact personnel trained
specifically by Lombardini. This work should be carried
out in accordance with existing literature.
• Lombardini declines all responsibility for accidents or for
failure to comply with the requirements of law if changes

are made to the engine's functional parameters or to the
fuel flow rate adjustments and speed of rotation, if seals
are removed, or if parts not described in the operating
and maintenance manual are removed and reassembled
by unauthorized personnel.
WARNING
• In addition to all other machine specifications, ensure that
the engine is in a near horizontal position when starting. lf
starting manually, ensure that the necessary operations
can be performed without any risk of striking against
walls or dangerous objects. Rope starting (except for
recoil rope starting) is not permitted even in emergencies.
• Check that the machine is stable so that there is no risk
of it overturning.
• Get to know the engine speed adjustment and machine
stop operations.
• Do not start the machine in closed or poorly ventilated
environments. The internal combustion process
generates carbon monoxide, an odourless and highly
toxic gas, so spending too long a time in an environment
where the engine discharges its exhaust products freely
can lead to loss of consciousness and even death.
• The engine may not be used in environments containing
flammable materials, explosive atmospheres or easily
combustible powders, unless adequate and specific
precautions have been taken and are clearly stated and
certified for the machine.
• To prevent the risk of fire, keep the machine at a distance
of at least one metre from buildings or other machines.
• Children and animals must be kept at a sufficient distance
from the machine to prevent any danger resulting from
its operation.
• Fuel is flammable, so the tank must be filled only when the
engine is turned off. Dry carefully any fuel that may have
spilled, remove the fuel container and any cloths soaked in
fuel or oil, check that any sound-absorbing panels made of
porous material are not soaked with fuel or oil, and make
sure that the ground on which the machine is located has
not absorbed fuel or oil.
• Before starting, remove any tools that have been used for
carrying out maintenance work to the engine and/or the
machine and check that any guards removed have been
replaced. In cold climates it is possible to mix kerosene
with the diesel fuel to make the engine easier to start. The
liquids must be mixed in the tank by pouring in first the
kerosene and then the diesel fuel. Consult Lombardini
technical office for mixture proportions. Petrol may not be
used because of the risk of it forming flammable vapours.
• During operation the surface of the engine reaches
temperatures that may be dangerous. Avoid in particular
all contact with the exhaust system.
• The liquid cooling circuit is under pressure. Do not carry
out any checks before the engine has cooled down, and
even then open the radiator cap or the expansion tank
cautiously. Wear protective clothing and glasses. lf there
is an electric fan, do not approach the engine while it is
still hot as the fan may come on even when the engine
is not running. Clean the cooling system with the engine
turned off.
• While cleaning the oil bath air filter, check that the oil is
disposed of in such a way as not to harm the environment.
Any filtering sponges in the oil bath air filter should not
be soaked with oil. The cyclone pre-filter cup must not
